How do I access Photo Stream to use as a screensaver?

I have previously used my iPhoto Photo Stream as a screensaver on Apple TV.  It seems that each time I lose it (e.g., after a power failure) I have more and more difficulty restoring it.  The only screensaver listed on my Apple TV menu is National Geographic.  My Apple TV is 1st generation.  I cannot seem to find a link in iTunes.  I know I'm missing something, but what???

Thank you for your response.  I discovered my mistake -- Home Sharing was not turned on on my Apple TV menu.  Duh!!! 
I'm pretty sure that what I have is 1st generation , and I've always been able to access my photos in one way or another!

    iCloud is not designed to "store" photos (as in long term storage).  iCloud can be used to sync photos from one device to another (photo stream) and to store a backup of the camera roll.  But that's pretty much it.
    Camera roll is the group of all photos taken by the device (but not other photos synced to the device from another source).  Your extra storage on icloud will do you no good.  The recommended way of storing photos on a device is to sync them to a computer.
    So, your questions..
    1) You don't/can't
    2) No, because of 1.
    3) On a computer, deleting large groups of photos is relatively painless.  not so on a device.
    4) You can't access photos on iCloud because they can't be store in icloud.  You can't view/access photos in a backup on icloud unless you restore a backup to a device.

    Using mountain lion operating system, downoaded iphoto 9.4 update, aperature 3.4.3 update and still cannot access photo stream.  now what??

    With Aperture, you should be able to use Photo Stream now, but you need iPhoto 9.4.2 > http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1608
    After updating iPhoto to the latest version, open System Preferences > iCloud and tick Photo Stream. Finally, you will have to turn on Photo Stream on iPhoto and Aperture choosing Photo Stream on the sidebar of both programmes

  • How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud?

    How can I access photos and videos saved to the iCloud? I backed up my iphone to the Cloud but now the files are nowhere to be found.
    I had to reset all content and settings in order to troubleshoot an issue. Before I did this, I backed up the iphone to icloud. When I reprogrammed the phone, I had to set it up as a new device and individually sync apps and other items from itunes. But by doing this, I somehow lost some videos and can't seem to find where they would have been saved/backed up. Can anyone offer any guidance?

    You can't view photos and videos on icloud (except for shared photo stream pics).  iCloud merely sync photos between devices using the stream.  If you don't have photo stream turned on, then the only place photos in the camera roll are located are in a backup.  You would have to restore from the backup.  But be warned that many users have ended up losing their photos when performing a restore, for whatever reason. 
    What you should do in the future is always sync photos/videos to a computer for storage, don't leave them on a device or trust icloud to somehow store them.

  • HT204053 How do I access photos in the cloud

    How do I access photos in the cloud?  I've downloaded them to a laptop but I'm unable to delete them from the cloud.  it's used up all of my storage and I can't backup my iPhone because I don't have enough storage.

    If you're talking about photo stream photos, those don't take up any of your iCloud storage so deleting them won't save any space in your account.  You can delete them using your phone by opening your my photo stream album, tapping select, tapping the photos and tapping the trash icon.  Be sure to copy them out of the my photo stream folder on your computer before doing this or they will be deleted from your computer too.
    This article provides some suggestions for reducing your iCloud storage: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht4847.

    How can I access the iphoto library using windows pc? Upgrading to aperture solves my problem?
    My home network is used both by my macbook and my wife's windows pc. Considering that, I would like to know if we can share our pictures with each other (specially because I intend to store all of them into a NAS storage - WD My Cloud, probably).

    No you can not - neither iPhoto nor Aperture has any cross platform capability
    You can share photos with the PC using MyPhotoStream or Shared PhotoStreames
    You can not share the iPhoto library
    And you can not put the iPHoto library on a NAS - it MUST always be on a volume formatted Mac OS extended (journaled) and mube on a fast wired local connection - it can not be on a Network
    There are Digital Asset Managers that can do what you want - iPhoto and Aperture can not

  • TS3988 Can't access photo stream and icloud, despite having the right id/password

    I can access icloud online, and on my macbook pro. But for some reason, I can't access my storage preferences (it says: Details not available), nor can I access photo stream. I get an error message that says:
    Photos for the iCloud account “[email protected]” cannot be accessed. Review your account information in System Preferences.
    When I click on 'review'
    I can also see my storage settings (after inputting my password), and everything is correct and up-to-date. Yet it won't load the storage details.
    I also don't want to sign out, because I get messages telling me that everything on my mac will be deleted, and I don't want to lose anything.
    What now?
    Thanks for your help,
    Lutz

    You aren't supposed to be able to access photos at iCloud.com.
    To enable photo stream in iPhoto enable system preferences > photos and follow on screen instructions.
